Open 862: Diffusion of Power (Game Over)

[NorwegianboyEE]

When would anyone ever think that you meant that in the way to say that the player is a mafia that should shoot themselves.
Also i’d still like an explanation of why you are voting me.

[Enchant]

But i not asking explaination why you voting me

[NorwegianboyEE]

If you refuse to answer that’s an perfectly valid answer.
But hiding things won’t do well for you if i get limmed and when i flip town.

Goldfish*
Who the heck is blood? I'm so tired.

You were probably thinking of BBT?

[Gamma Emerald]

You want me to brag about my own towniness?
Ok.

I’m very active.
Very very cute and townie.
Asking extremely clever questions.
Been keeping up with the game more than many other players, despite being sick and tired IRL a lot of the time.
Consistently kept up on current affairs and very motivated.
Probably unpartnered with most players.
Dreaming about solving the game every night.

I trust this last line

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Apologies for not checking in with this game properly yet, will do so tomorrow.

Slowly rereading through D1 and then I'll catch up with the newer stuff.

If you flip town.

Enchant

Assuming strikes ppl are good (i sure about Enchant), then others contain 3 mafia.

3 mafia amongst 8 players.
So Norwegian is 40% Mafia aligned! Seems fair game for me.

[Gamma Emerald]

Where does that 40% come from?

Also this is a dipshit PoE in general. You’re not townreading anyone?

[PenguinPower]

pretty sure he's just referencing semi-confirmed town

like - this statement applies to everyone who is not enchant/goldfish/somnus to him

which - tbf - is par for the course for enchant.

[Something_Smart]

Replacing froggodoggo.

[Something_Smart]

Jake The Wolfie replaces froggodoggo!

[Jake The Wolfie]

Hello, friends and former family of froggodoggo, I am the lord your Jake, here to save you from the wicked force known as "Something_Smart"-

Uhp, hold on a second, folks..

[Off-screen whispering]
uhuh..
uhuh, yeah..
yeah alright, I'll tell them.

Ahem

, I have been informed by my producers that Something_Smart is not the evil one here, but it is instead 3 Mafioso evildoers amongst your numbers. Fear not, for I shall expose them momentously!

[Gamma Emerald]

Hello. I hope you came to play.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Hello. I hope you came to play.

I did not. I have to read 37+ pages chock full of meaningless talk just to reaffirm my previously held beliefs.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Anyway, time to see what is going on with this VC, and why it seems no one is voting anyone else.

[Fun Times]

Hi Jake. @Norwee can you give us some reads? @goldfish do you have any thoughts on the game, currently?

~Nancy

[Bellaphant]

@mod, goldfish needs a prod

@norwwe I've asked you questions at least twice now, can you leave enchant alone for a bit and talk to me?

[Bellaphant]

you checked somnus because?

1. Because I find them hard to read
2. a few ppl were scumreading them
3. someone (I think it was bbt) suggested them as a good check
And 4. because I'm paranoid because they've been scum in every game I've played with them.

Also, sorry to go back to this, but:

'a few people ' seems just to have been ausaka, who asked me about my town read and then said somnus was scum only if partners with aliana. It looks like there were more stated town reads.

[Bellaphant]

Anyway, time to see what is going on with this VC, and why it seems no one is voting anyone else.

There's some votes on your slot that could easily be due to frogs misguided push fun times push, and a fair few on norwee. Think Enchant might have some?.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Catching up on early D2 stuff, so bare with me please.

VOTE: norwegian

his reaction to the Alianna flip is over-the-top

Self-voting as town. Even more heinous crime.

this is what pinged me the hardest

Don't think I agree with any of this and I'm left wondering why the same logic wasn't applied to Fun Times who wrote a paragraph referencing the Ali flip.

Don’t have much time to post rn but that self hammer fkin sucked and I want to lim the hydra for putting such overwhelming pressure on Alianna. It was ludicrous

I get the sentiment behind this and it was my initial thought at start of D2 but Frog just doesn't read as town to me in this game at all so far.

because i don't know who i want to vote for rn...unlike the two of you who have expressed someone you do want to vote for...

I guess this is a problem when you bait a lolhammer when you have no reads, right?

VOTE: norwee

@bbt, I thought you didn't put a huge amount of stock into nka?

Bad vote Bella, I don't know if you expand on this vote at all but if not I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts. I actually used to rate NKA as a decent scum hunting tool and I still think it's vastly under rated.

they're almost certainly town despite the townflip imo

the confidence in the scumflip?

Gamma, you posted this in reference to Fun Times being town from the Ali flip. I'm not sure I agree, why couldn't they be scum super excited that a townie was acting so scummy they had secured an easy D1 mislim?

tbf I think 2-3 scum were of the Alianna wagon

If you haven't expanded more on this, can you?

Not gonna lie, I didn't realize we were ending the day like 36 hours into it, we definitely should not have ended it before Goldfish spoke. my bad! I mean, end of the day, no regrets? I legit SRed them, they self hammered, and then I was solving, and they flipped town, and I went "are you serious right now??" what TOWN self hammers there?? like dude.. oh well moving on, my next confident read is Not_Mafia being maf here, but like, we're not gonna speed through D2, woooooo I mean, I'm always down for speedgame... but I don't think anyone else would appreciate it lol

-Andante

This feels scummy. Gamma, you were looking for an 'over-the-top' reaction to the Ali flip...here it is.

VOTE: Gamma Emerald
Bad reason to SR me and bad reason to TR Fun Times.
I found my next vote.

Yep, I like this.

What's the question here? I was like one of the only people who actually gave a reason for that vote. Froggo voted too, so I find it interesting froggo is coming at us, like, I wrote yall a paragraph of my full thoughts on that situation, no one had questions at the time, yall just ran with it.

-Andante

Yeah, there is a difference. You were angling for that Ali wagon for a while without committing yourself to it, encouraging Penguin to put them at E-1 with both Enchant and NM around, when you were not voting Ali yourself.

369 and 378 pushing for the E-1 (as a side note; the pushing Penguin to vote, and then scum reading him and voting him for E-1-ing and then the unvote after the self-vote was really weird, not sure what it means yet but something was happening there) only after this pushing for the E-1 vote do you actually vote yourself in 427. The vote itself was poor as well because you used mech talk as reasoning when Ali was responding to Frog who actually started the discussion around mech talk.

[NorwegianboyEE]

You?

Sry.
Ok so i've been feeling that both Enchant and N_M are suspicious like you've stated yourself. But these are the typical "mislim" players so if i'm wrong about a player being scum it's likely in those two.
PenguinPower i don't think has been very townie. Mostly their day 2 has been mech talk, and then just responding to stuff otherwise. Which is a bit like filler imo.
Goldfish seriously needs to be more active, only an early unexplained claim and then afk is scummy. I can't read their townie motivation for what they did.

Otherwise i find most slots townie or null. Want Jake to post more.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

My top 2 SRs right now, are Not_Mafia from day 1, and froggo basically just claimed wolf here on D2 (explained above)

-Andante

Why no vote?

I'm honestly probably embellishing my confidence a bit but I still think the most confident pushes on Alianna were probably all town-motivated and that includes Andante

Alright.
Anyway your arguments on me are very tunneling in nature so i don’t think there will be anything to gain from being on you at this moment.

VOTE: N_M
Their posts today are really lacking self-awareness. I doubt they don’t know that Alianna flipped town.

Has your read on Gamma changed?

I do wanna know why BBT thought me/Somnus were good cop checks btw

I thought you were a good check because I didn't like some of your D1 play - your vote on Ali despite appearing to scum read me felt bad 309 and your reasoning for town reading both Somnus and Penguin were equally bad 410 and 435

Somnus was for his hedgy read on Ali and his overall lack of engagement with the game. Somnus was more predicated on an Ali scum flip, too.

[v[froggodoggo[/v]

I think we should settle Andante vs. Froggo, we can't have this division in our town

Yeah, I don't mind either of these votes.
